Summary

I experienced an unimaginable heartbreak when I learned during a routine ultrasound that my unborn daughter had anencephaly—a condition with no chance of survival. In that moment of overwhelming grief and shock, as tears streamed down my face in a quiet ultrasound room, I heard the gentle whisper ‘Emanuel,’ reminding me that God is with us. Despite the devastating news and the painful decision to continue my pregnancy against all odds, I found strength in Jesus. Through each hospital visit, every sleepless night, and the silent prayers amid despair, His presence transformed my sorrow into a testimony of hope, healing, and unyielding faith. I now share my journey so that others, even in their darkest moments, may discover that Jesus offers comfort, restoration, and the promise of new beginnings.

Almost all babies with anencephaly die before birth, although some may survive a few hours or a few days after birth. Anencephaly is likely caused by an interaction between genetic and environmental factors , many of which remain unknown.

Confronted with a fatal diagnosis for their unborn baby girl, Brooke Martin and her husband faced an unimaginable choice, grappling with how to move forward amid a sea of unanswerable questions. Yet, in the midst of unspeakable grief, Brooke’s faith and vulnerability not only laid the foundation for her own healing but also for a global movement toward resilience and recovery.

Whether in pregnancy, the workplace, marriage, or otherwise, we are bound to experience suffering in life. How we respond can be the difference between our destruction and our growth.
